Anne Combs, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Anne

Anne Combs is an Ohio-licensed counselor with 40 years in behavioral health. She focuses on common family and parenting concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family problems, and career-related stress. Her manner is warm and practical, with a sense of humor that makes difficult conversations feel more manageable.

She emphasizes present-day solutions and steps clients can take right away. She trained in graduate school in West Virginia and has worked in a mix of small and large behavioral health organizations.

Background and approach

That background includes roles as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and administrator, which shaped her approach to problem solving. Anne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to help people change patterns and reach specific goals. Sessions aim to identify one or two clear goals and to build small, concrete steps toward them.

Anne pays attention to how people communicate and offers practical coaching when career or role performance is a concern. Work may include changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and setting short-term milestones. She acknowledges that past trauma can affect daily life, yet prefers to focus on how to manage its present impact.

Her style is interactive and straightforward, mixing empathy with direct problem-solving. Many clients find the combination of structure and a friendly tone useful when tackling life changes or persistent stress. Anne provides services in English and practices in Ohio.

Her credential is LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. It creates space for people to describe what matters most and helps build trust so change can follow. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try techniques that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, the plan is adjusted together so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging depending on the moment and the task. This makes it easier to schedule brief check-ins, practice skills between sessions, or hold a full conversation from home. The blend of problem-solving methods and flexible formats aims to make it simpler to work through parenting stress, family communication problems, and day-to-day life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
